From CEO to pizza delivery driver

If he's any good, he could ask for his job back (he could have burnt a lot of bridges on the way out...)

Quote from Sushi:

Big deal. It's far more than you baby frightened money hoarders will ever accomplish.

Wrong. By all accounts he already had a "good life."

Too many trolls with imaginary bank accounts here. Try real risk and lose bozos and you would understand

In this case, "real risk" = real poor contingency planning. If you equate what he did with "having alot of balls" or some other stupid cliche, you too, are an idiot...

I also thought this... This story is smack in the middle of the MSN homepage, so its obviously going to get alot of exposure..

Assuming he didnt burn bridges with his previous buyside accounts, it shouldnt be hard to get a job.. Some firms in fact might reach out to the guy..

Anyone who believes this is an assclown.

You think soros has special skill? You think madonna can sing any better than the next? You think elon musk is a genius? You think larry Ellison works harder than the guy digging ditches?

I could go on and on. Great success is almost pure luck. Keep living lie that it ain't and you wiu never move beyond Mediocracy

Loser attitude. Does this delusion make your failures easier to live with?

Quote from mschey:

After reading a few of the posts, i wonder if you guys watched the same video....the guy formed a hedge fund, and to fund the business, and his lifestyle, he used his savings to cover it.

He opened a business, took a shot, and came up short, I've got lot's of respect anyone who does that....It's the risk takers that make most of your lifestyles possible. Everyone who has a job working for someone else, owes that job to someone who took a risk, started a business, worked their ass off to make it work.

Thats true and if everyone was just willing to work for someone else this country would stand still.

No wisdom is gained thru success wisdom comes from failures.

Quote from spinn:

That is due to the psychology of self sabotage.

Subconsciously, people who feel they do not deserve such an income, find a way to lose it.

No better place than trading.

There probably is some validity to this. Although most flame out due to overconfidence and no discipline.

But then again, there's no other profession that motivates its participants to be inspired by other's misery just to rationalize their own losses. What a fucking sad state we've come to. Grow up for once!
